Sortier

An opinionated Code Sorter

Sortier is an opinionated code sorter similar to how Prettier is a opinionated code formatter. Given a file, it parses then sorts and rearranges source code in a consistent way.

Documentation

Examples of what sortier will sort in JavaScript:

Import statements
Import specifiers
Union types
Keys and properties within objects and types
React JSX properties
And more!

It should work with JavaScript ES6, Flow, Typescript, HTML and Json but if you find a piece of code that after sorting doesn't look as expected, feel free to open an issue in Github!

How to run it

sortier "[glob-file-path]"

General things to keep in mind

Blank lines are treated as context breaks... Sortier will not sort through them
Comments will stay with the line they comment unless there is only one comment above all the lines of code

Example Input

// Imports are ordered by path
// ImportSpecifiers are also ordered

import {
    /* a2 comment */
    a2,
    /* a1 comment */
    a1 } from "./a";
// c2 import comment
import { c2 } from "c";
import { b3, b1 } from "./b";

// Blank lines act like context barriers and will divide sorting blocks
import { b2 } from "b1";

export type Props = {
  // Prop3 comment
  prop3: string;
  callback2: () => void;
  // Prop1 comment
  prop1: number;
  callback1(): void;

  // Since this is the only comment for this context block, this comment stays where it is
  prop4: boolean;
  prop2: boolean;
};

Example Output

// Imports are ordered by path
// ImportSpecifiers are also ordered

// c2 import comment
import { c2 } from "c";
import {
    /* a1 comment */
    a1,
    /* a2 comment */
    a2 } from "./a";
import { b1, b3 } from "./b";

// Blank lines act like context barriers and will divide sorting blocks
import { b2 } from "b1";

export type Props = {
  // Prop1 comment
  prop1: number;
  // Prop3 comment
  prop3: string;
  callback1(): void;
  callback2: () => void;

  // Since this is the only comment for this context block, this comment stays where it is
  prop2: boolean;
  prop4: boolean;
};
